Guest guest Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 this has been brought up a few times and I just wantewd to comment on it. this is a first defence responce for humans ro reconize harmful smells, and I think humans narurally stop inhaleing when they first detect something. I think we actually lose this first line of defence. and it has nithing to do with our hypersensitive reaction to chemical and mold/myco exposures at lower doses. I understood it to be because we have lost this first defence along with a distirted sence of smell to some things, that we no longer have the first reaction that humans take for granted. I understood it to be because we have lost this ability, and because of the neuron tranmitter disfunction, that out hyper-reaction is a result of what you might call neuron buildup and the lack of transmitter function than causes the hyper-reaction. does that make sence? what I'm trying to say is that our ability to detect some smells that others dont is not because we have a hightened fight or flight responce but that the neurons detecting these smells are not tranmitting and it causes a buildup and that leads to us reconizeing these smells that others dont. ol, not to easy to explain but I thought I'd give it a shot. we are probably talking in a matter of milliseconds in which these neurons buildup so it would be hard to realize that we are haceing a delayed responce and that could be mistaken as a gifgtened flight or fight responce but ot's not because we have lost that first defence machanism.
